This is true.Out of his control, he will be as the writers deem him to be no matter how inconsitent it is with everything else Thats the real problem everyone just wants to write what they want when they want that was Wally west is a mess
Sadly, they always seem to revert to the most negative status quo. Batman and Green Arrow both became a lot less likable (and less enjoyable) to me in post-COIE era (Batman particularly in the late 90s up through at least the mid 2000s), and even when writers have tried to move them back to the previous status quo or even just move them forward and past the jerky status quo, the jerkier ones stuck. Dick had a pretty awesome status quo, only be replaced by the manchild philanderer. He's been taken away from it at times, but keeps get stuck back there. The new negative aspects seem to "stick" a lot more than the new positive ones of character that improved (in an in-universe "more responsible" "more competent" and "less mean" fashion - what the audience considered improved in entertainment value varies).I mean, what character doesn't revert to some status quo in comics? It's just more noticeable in Damian and Guy because their character flaws are big and loud and allow for writers do have a go doing mean but funny dialogue.
